I'm Madelynne Ellis, a British author of erotica and erotic romance. I started writing after a friend picked up the Black Lace book I was reading and suggested that I should have a go. The rest is history. My first novel, A Gentleman's Wager, appeared in 2003, published by Black Lace. I've continued to put out titles from that point, branching out into contemporary and urban fantasy in addition to Georgian historical settings.

As for my interests... Well, I have a healthy obsession with a certain Japanese rock-star, I drink decaf, and I get a kick out of scaring the wobblies out of people at gothic horror events.

Our group believes EROTICA is not vulgar or obscene. It's art. It's beautiful and it has a place. We are adults who can understand and read sexually implicit (not explicit) fictional literature and appreciate it for what it is. There is a reason it is so strongly represented in art, culture, music, and literature. It's how you got here.
Appreciate. Understand. Enjoy.
